This was a blog about my adventures with Joe. Then, along came Nia. Four years later, along came Stage 3 breast cancer. Fast forward two years, and I'm now caring for my dad while he fights his own cancer battle.

On Our Nightstands: Books, Books, Books

See, it's been awhile since I talked about what we are reading around here (Books for 4 Year Olds), and I'm not prepared to do it today either (sheesh, I know!).

BUT I wanted to quickly point you to a new feature I added to the blog that will let you know what we are all reading, even if I don't have time to do a book review at the moment. (See what I did there?)

Here is a nifty thing:

You can find the same graphic in the right-hand sidebar of the blog, but over there the book pictures are click-able. :)

(Now, in the interest of full-disclosure, I should tell you, that if you end up clicking on a title and buying it, say for a Christmas present, I get a few cents. Just so you know.)

Anyway. This one I'm especially excited about:

We've gotten VERY into audio books around here. In fact, that's pretty much all that is playing in the car when Nia is in the car. But that's ok, cuz it wasn't that long ago that we couldn't go anywhere without a crying baby (shudder! Remember this??).

So audio books are a-ok.

And this Dr. Seuss one is especially fun because of all the great readers on it. Our favorite story on here is Horton Hears a Who (which is actually a pretty good movie, too).

Joe and I listen to audio books, too -- he on his long commute, and me on my walks in the morning. (Our secret? We get 'em from the library!)
